Perhaps at no other time in the history of this country has there been a greater "generation gap" and at the same time a greater need for close relationships between adults and adolescents. Adolescents face a world which, while exciting and full of change, is frightening and often incomprehensible. Moreover, they feel increasing anonymity and alienation in school situations in particular and life in general. Adolescents need adult help in forming values and developing understandings about themselves that will help them grow toward responsible adulthood, fully aware of who they are and able to face the challenges and uncertainties which are concomitant with the rapid rate of change in today's world. Other than their parents, teachers are the adults with whom they are most in contact.
